Our assessment
The evidence shows that the key ingredient in Nature's Way Turmeric 750 mg, which is calcium, is supported for bone health. However, the data provided is for calcium, not turmeric, so our assessment must focus on the ingredient listed in the data. For the specific turmeric product you asked about, the data on its primary ingredient is not available. For the calcium ingredient that is in the data, we can say it supports bone density [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a calming signal for your nerves. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports for all supplements in the data. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from very high calcium levels include poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Since the data provided is for calcium and not turmeric, we cannot make a recommendation for Nature's Way Turmeric 750 mg. For calcium, which is in the data, you should be cautious with high doses. Do not exceed the RDA without medical supervision, and take calcium separately from the medications listed above [NIH ODS]. For turmeric-specific guidance, data is not available.
